The article presents the research results of the Caspian Sea upwelling which is accompanied by the negative temperature anomaly in the summer period.
The historical review of the upwelling research was made. The upwelling at the western coast of the Mid-dle Caspian was classified by duration, intensity and scale. The comparative analysis results of the upwel-ling cases are presented according to the coastal hydrological observations in 1999-2008.
In the article, the unified approach to the risk assessment of forest management founded the integrated analysis both a degree of natural-climatic danger and a magnitude of the resource and ecological potentials is offered. On the example of the Tomsk area, the algorithm for the risk forest management calculation is approved by the author. The analysis allowed identifying the areas to a variable degree of prepotency of certain natural-climatic hazards
The article highlights the main recreational development stages of the most popular and attractive places in Altai Republic – the Chemal area

Ni, Cr, Cu and Pb concentrations in the region soils increased during the observation period. The highest degree of air pollution
in southern Russia was marked in Novorossiysk
Calculation and analysis of spatial and temporal distribution of climatic resources of Western Siberia are presented in the article. Basic bioclimatic indexes are the effective temperature, equivalent-effective temperature, index of Bodman. The authors show particular climatic conditions in Siberia and reveal a comfort zone. Effective temperature, equivalent-effective temperature, index of Bodman on the territory of Western Siberia has a large spatial and temporal heterogeneity
